Every year, Electronic Arts runs a Super Bowl simulation with their most recent edition of Madden NFL running both teams under its A.I. routines. This year, the simulation predicted the New England Patriots to come out on top, 26-21. Here's a rundown of what happened during the simulation:

The game starts on intensely, as both teams' defense comes out to show their skills. The Pats score however, once a pass is made from Tom Brady to Troy Brown. The defense bunkers down for the remainder of the quarter.

The second quarter starts out much like the first, as the defense is really being tested. The Eagles soon show why they've made it so far, though, when Donovan McNabb throws a touchdown pass to Terrell Owens. Not willing to let the quarter end in a tie, the Patriots kick a field goal. The score is now 10-7.

The Patriots score early after halftime with a 30 yard pass and scamper from Brady to Deion Branch . Not willing to lose face, the Eagles counter with Brian Westbrook carrying the load with a long run down the middle. The end-quarter score is now 17-14.

In what seems to be a pattern in this game, the Patriots score first again, this time with a field goal, giving them a 6-point lead. The lead wouldn't last, though, with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Freddie Mitchell. The score is now 21-20 in favor of the Eagles. Knowing that they had better act quickly, the Patriots have Corey Dillon run them down the field. They go for a two-point conversion, but are ultimately stopped by the Eagles. Unfortunately for them, though, it makes no difference. The game is over and the score is 26-21. The Patriots have won.

Will this prediction come true? We'll have to just wait and see.
